However, having will and courage does not mean that you can win a war, and the battlefield is still a place where material determines spirit. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info different from the Bavarian Legion, which has been reborn and began to move towards mechanization and air-ground integration, the Czech Legion is basically in sync with the times in terms of equipment system, with some more 150mm heavy howitzers, light artillery are all rapid-fire guns, and the level of artillery equipment may be the same as that of the French army in history. The number of automatic firearms, such as machine guns and submachine guns, has a significant advantage. But taking into account the factors of training and morale, the combat effectiveness is far worse than that of the French, who dare to play with heavy artillery and machine gun fire!

Ruprecht needed a force capable of fighting tough battles, so the Czech Legion had to endure a baptism of blood and fire, and Baron Merlin's regiment was now undergoing this painful metamorphosis.

The Russians seem to be attacking very slowly, but the more this happens, the more uneasy Baron Merlin feels, although the Russians do not have a large number of long-range heavy artillery like Bavaria, but the Russians are equipped with a large number of 107 and 122mm medium-caliber medium-range guns, the so-called lack of more than the upper is more than the bottom, and the Germans can not make any tricks, but it is still good to suppress the Austro-Hungarian regiment, which is dominated by medium and short-range artillery.

After repelling the third attack of the Russians. The four 75mm guns attached to the main position were repositioned, from the rear of the position to the sides, in order to move the guns, which weighed more than a ton. The Czechs did not make less effort. The machine-gun emplacements were also reset. Once the two sides are engaged, the defender's firepower and deployment are exposed to one-third of the loss, and it is compulsory to use the opponent's attack gap to readjust the firepower deployment, but this truth is not understood by everyone, and not everyone who understands it does.

The Russian artillery once again broke the silence of the battlefield, and the whistling shells fell densely on the forward positions, and the soldiers who were still busy in the trenches just now quickly entered the anti-artillery hole behind the position under the leadership of the non-commissioned officer, which was a semi-buried bunker reinforced by logs, as long as it was not a direct hit by medium-caliber shells. And the tortuous trenches also provide the most basic protection for those who do not have time to enter the bunker.

As an officer trained by the Bavarian Military Academy for several years, Baron Merlin knew that trying to make his soldiers veterans, and then making these veterans his loyal subordinates was the most important way to improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

The Russians' artillery fire is not very fierce, their heavy artillery is not much, and the previous battle has consumed a lot of ammunition, and there is a lack of replenishment, although the Russians concentrated their forces as much as possible to prepare for a breakthrough, but the only remaining artillery can only be suppressed at most, and the decisive outcome is the duel between the infantry, and this also makes the war more bloody and cruel!

"The Russians lack long-range firepower, so we can safely hold together, rely on machine guns and submachine guns to counteract the Russians' superiority in numbers, and trust our allies, who will not expose your backs to the enemy. I will never go back until all of you leave the battlefield safely, I swear in the name of my family! ”

"Protect the machine gun and pay attention to the sides. There are also anticlines that also have to leave some people. Tell the artillerymen not to fire casually, I always have the feeling that this time the Russians will play some tricks. ”

The Russians' offensive was always slow, they couldn't do it at all, the infantry was immediately after the artillery support was over, and because of the support of their own long-range fire, their infantry starting position was still relatively far from the defensive position, a distance of 800 meters! So, Baron Merlin even had time to give his battalion commander and company commander a small meeting to boost morale and reiterate the main points.

The figures of Russian soldiers loomed in the smoke of gunpowder, and the roar of MG07 machine guns broke the silence of the battlefield 1,000 meters away, and the sound of chainsaws from the remaining dozen machine guns was terrifying. In less than 1 minute, a 250-round canvas cartridge belt turned into a bullet casing all over the ground. Bullets like locusts fly across the battlefield, harvesting unfortunate lives from time to time.

Frontal blocking, lateral firing on the side, no matter how the Russians' skirmisher line is arranged, there is always a direction of machine guns that can attack the opponent with maximum efficiency, and the tongues of fire continue to cut the Russian infantry into small pieces, or suppress or kill, and each machine gun does its best to block the path of the opponent's attack.

The Russians could not be beaten in vain, and the long sound from the air alerted the defenders, and the Russians' mortars were finally in place, hiding behind the infantry, firing high-explosive grenades at the exposed machine gun points. At the same time, the Russian machine gun crew carrying the Maxin machine gun also set up machine guns on both sides of the attacking troops to provide cover for the troops.

The roar of machine guns on both sides resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Russian soldiers who had received support got up from the muddy ground and rushed to the defensive position 300 meters away as if they had taken a stimulant, "Gunner, get up!" "Under the order of the company commander, the soldiers carrying this semi-automatic rifle rushed to the front line, and when the Russian soldiers approached within 200 meters, the whole position suddenly sounded like a burst of gunfire! Countless bullets flew from all directions to attack the Russian army, although there was no coherence when the machine gun fired, but the victory was in a large number, hundreds of semi-automatic rifles in a very short time to shoot all 20 bullets in the magazine, tens of thousands of bullets at a distance of 200 meters burst out to catch the Russians off guard.

However, it was clear that the Russians had no way to retreat, and the soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their fallen comrades and launched a final white-knuckle charge. In this bloody battle, the Russians boast that they are not afraid of any opponent! They shouted hooray, and stretched out their bloody bayonets, cold bayonets glistening in the sun, ready to drink the blood of their opponents.

"Brothers, follow me!" In Baron Merlin's regiment, if you want to be a company commander, then the first requirement is to be able to take a rifleman to the front line in hand-to-hand combat! Those who fled had either died under the bullets of the Russians or had been cleared out. It was like a duel between spearmen in the era of cold weapons, and at the last few tens of meters, two rows of snowy bayonets were against the opponent.
